00:02 - If you are a team that is a prohibitive favorite
00:07 over another team, you don't want to have a double header
00:09 because it opens up different opportunities,
00:11 different starting lineups,
00:12 and really it's hard to sweep a double header
00:14 as the Phillies found out yesterday,
00:16 easily winning game number one against the Nationals,
00:18 but lost late on a ninth inning solo home run
00:21 off Craig Kimbrell, which gave the Nationals the win.
00:23 Today, they'll tee it up once again
00:25 in the city of brotherly love, 640 start.
00:27 That's Gore versus Lorenzen.
00:29 The Phillies are a heavy favorite
00:30 in which they'll continue to be
00:32 against the Washington Nationals
00:33 at a price point of minus 190 in a total of nine.
00:36 So are we anticipating runs today?
00:38 It could be.
00:38 Gore's a young pitcher looking to find his way
00:40 in Major League Baseball.
00:41 By the way, Michael Lorenzen came right over
00:43 for the Philadelphia Phillies
00:44 and had eight strong innings on the road
00:46 against the Marlins.
00:47 He looks to try to continue that today,
00:49 but that minus 190 price point,
00:51 it's not cheap for the Phillies here.
00:53 Give me your thoughts here
00:54 on some Nationals-Phillies action today at 640.
00:58 - No, it's not cheap.
01:00 And you're right.
01:01 We talked about it yesterday,
01:02 is wait to see if the Phillies win game one,
01:06 then hold off, then you may want to come back
01:08 with a split for Washington in game two.
01:10 And they came back.
01:11 And Washington, if nothing else,
01:13 has shown us that you can't take anything for granted,
01:17 even with teams that are, you know, 15 games under 500.
01:21 I mean, the Washington is a giant pain in the rear,
01:25 and they have been.
01:26 So Philadelphia is gonna have to bring it.
01:28 I like Gore.
01:30 I think Lorenzen is a interesting guy
01:33 to send to the mound here with this Washington lineup.
01:37 All in all, I saw the total at nine.
01:40 I thought it was a little much here, Donnie.
01:43 Something tells me we may not get as many runs
01:46 as we did yesterday's game.
01:48 I'm expecting maybe less runs.
01:51 So I'm gonna look at the under in this matchup
01:53 with these two pitchers.
